What can you do with a Potatot? (was: What can you do with a Potato?)
Time

Sir Ridley said:

Something you can do with a potatot is to bring it to Sweden, which would turn it into a potatis. Potatis sounds a bit like latin, but it’s not. 'Tis a root. People rarely bring potatots to Sweden. Someone did in the 15th century (when they were still known as potatoes), thereby giving birth to the first potatis of Sweden, but these days we make our own. Not by giving birth to them, though.

The usual thing for us to do with a potatis is to eat it, when time is due. But sometimes, when Swedes are small, we cut a potatis in half, carve a pattern into the cut surface and use it as a stamp. And other times, when Swedes are small, we do not cut it in half but instead stick four matches into the potatis like legs and pretend it’s an animal.

On rare occasions potatoes have been animals for real, like a horse for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potoooooooo

You would think that this fact alone greatly increases the number of things that can be done with a potatot. If the potatot was a horse, you could ride it and feed it and take care of it, you conclude. But naturally that can be done with all potatots, not only the horse variety.

My favorite variety of potatot is the almond potatot, which is grown in the northern parts of Sweden. It is very tasty and has a nice oblong shape and just the right size. Of course, no size of potatot is wrong, but this one is particularly lagom. Lagom is the preferred state of things in Sweden.

My preferred state of a potatot (aside from lagom), is the deep fried state. Potatot chips or french fries. I find them very tasty. Finding potatots is a nice thing to do. At least when you expect it, maybe not when you least expect it. Imagine suddenly finding a potatot in your bed. A potatot in bed with your loved one, even. If you have one. A bed and/or a loved one.

But that might not be so bad, now that I think about it. Having a bed, a loved one and a potatot is all you need, really. In fact, all you need in life is a potatot. Because it’s quite clear that you can do anything with a potatot. Yes. You can do it! You can fulfill your dreams, with a potatot.

THIS IS CANON

It’s funny how antsy fans are getting for a trailer for a movie they supposedly have no interest in.

But Dom, the evil axis of Disney, J.J. Abrams, and Rian Johnson is ruining Star Wars.

Don’t forget Kathleen Kennedy, the Disney Apologists and the SJW’s 😉

Yep. It was Kennedy who fired Lord and Miller, which means the movie is now ruined and will be very bad, even though fans didn’t want Lord and Miller in the first place.

Really? I don’t recall Lucasfilm calling me up and asking my opinion on the matter. 😛

they only called 10 landlines and then extrapolated from there.

Spud Bunnies (noun)

  1. Late 90’s pop band.

  2. Thin, upright protuberances on the skin of a potato somewhat resembling rabbit’s ears.

  3. Scattered occurrances of small household potatoes usually found under couches and beds.

LOL. but citation needed.

spudnik

A series of Russian artificial potatots sent into orbit during the late 1950s. Literally “yellow yam” in Russian. Spudnik I made history on October 4, 1957, by becoming the first man-grown object put into orbit in a mashed state. Spudnik II would follow later, this time carrying sour cream, the first prepared food in space.

But… soda crackers and Ovaltine are just different aspects of the potato. If you look closely enough, everything becomes potato.

This is conspiracy level crazy! We must dig deeper, and see how far down this potato ploy, this russet ruse, this chip caper, this murphy machination, this spud scheme, this tater trick, goes.

Maybe Holdo was the first person to think up the kamakizee lightspeed attack. As others have pointed out kamakizee is only useful in certain situations, it makes sense no one would have thought of it until now. They did say she was a brilliant general, and Poe + Hux (both experienced in the military) are confused when she turns the ship around.

That seems highly unlikely. Self-sacrifice is probably older than the discovery of fire, and kamikazee was actually fairly widely used by the Japanese in WWII. If we have invented it many times over throughout our earthly history, I would expect Holdo not to be the first to think of it in the much more advanced GFFA. Considering the energy released on impact is proportionate to the mass times the velocity squared, if hyperspace is really nothing more than traveling very fast in real space and time, as it appears to be in TLJ, then an obstacle travelling at lightspeed would obviously inflict the most damage. A lightspeed torpedo should therefore logically exist. Not having it would be the earthly equivalent of having super sonic planes, whilst inexplicably not having super sonic missiles.

Edit: consider that an object of 1,000kg travelling at lightspeed would have a 1,000 times more energy released on impact than a nuclear bomb.

Did you just justify SKB? 😁
